It's been a long time since I've had that problem--I guess the little bit of rubbing alcohol that I add to the ink helps prevent that problem. In the past, when I've had the problem, I've done things like put the print head into a tray with a shallow batch of rubbing alcohol (so it just wets the print head "holes"). After soaking for a while, I wipe the head dry (gently) (just to avoid dripping ink anywhere) with something lint free, reinsert in the printer, and then run a cleaning cycle. If that doesn't work, I'll repeat.
